A man who acts as a mascot for the New England Patriots is among 14 people who have been arrested for prostitution-related crimes in Rhode Island since a new law went into effect that banned indoor prostitution.The bill signed into law in November made prostitution a misdemeanor crime regardless of where it occurs. Previously, indoor prostitution was allowed because of a legal loophole.

State Police say Robert Sormanti of Warwick was among those arrested in an undercover sting at a hotel. The Providence Journal reports Sormanti is among the team's mascots.

The Patriots said in a statement that multiple people wear the mascot costume and that the "individual in question" has been suspended.

I guess that means outdoor prostitution is Okay? What the hell does that even mean??

I thought the same thing. My guess is it means outdoor solicitation, as in, hookers on street corners. But if you had a brothel, well my friend, you were in bitness.

I know you are slow Jangler but seriously 7 hours late?

Outdoor prostitution (hanging out on the corner) has been illegal all along, but discreet prostitution and escort services were legal as long as it was indoors and underground. Now that is illegal as well which is why they got caught. Didn't really know about the loophole. Damn it!!!

I always thought it would be cool as a mascot to grope people. Everybody would laugh because that crazy giant ass bear just groped some chick. Oh, he's so out of control that mascot they would say.

Or some perv who runs around nude under his costume. Now see, here is one of those things about our society....if I told you a female mascot did that, we'd say it was hot. If a guy did, no woman would think of it that way.

Prostitution was legal in Rhode Island between 1980 and 2009 because there was no specific statute to define the act and outlaw it, although associated activities were illegal, such as street solicitation, running a brothel, and pimping.

Outdoor prostitution is and has always been illegal there, there just previously was no law about what happened behind closed doors.

Oops, just saw panthers55's post. Hence a little redundancy.
